Audrey Wasser earned her doctorate in Comparative Literature at Cornell University in 2010, and is currently a Collegiate Assistant Professor and Harper-Schmidt Fellow at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on French and English modernism, literary theory, and continental philosophy. Provisionally titled “The Work of Difference: Form and Formation in Twentieth-Century Literature and Theory,” her book manuscript draws on the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Benedict de Spinoza to argue for a notion of literary form that departs from the unity of self-reflection as well as from the closure implied in literature’s supposed autonomy from other creative processes. Audrey’s writings and translations have appeared in Angelaki, diacritics, SubStance, and Modern Philology.
